| Do 180g vinyls sound better or is it a myth ? I bought Gordon Lightfoot's "Gord's Gold" on 180g vinyl. Also Jennifer Warnes on the same. BOTH were dirty and had surface noise and were warped! Crazy huh? And to boot; the jackets were done on a flimsy cardboard far inferior to the original. I'm... | |
| What is David Bowie's turntable? It's been discussed in Stereophile and other mags. Most artists don't care about equipment at all! I've talked to many musicians over the years. Not a one had or cared about playback systems. Crazy huh? | |
| I need advice on which speaker A key issue you want to consider is if the speaker uses proprietary drivers. I'm a Snell fan. Snell is out of business. Not a problem for me because ALL of the drivers in my Snell Type B's are off the shelf Vifa drivers. The last speakers Snell ma... | |
| Best recordings to demonstrate soundstage? Add Basia to the list. Her stuff is a lot of electronics plus percussion. This isn't my regular listening material BUT, she is great and will expose a weak playback system. Joe | |
| Which CD\SACD? Add the Cary 306 SACD player to your list. The reviews are spot on. I love mine. | |
| Sellers Beware!!! Hi ejr1953, I'm in sales for a living and what this buyer did to you was just a part of the sales world. I have customers I deal with that make me cringe when I see them coming. Still, I need the business. In the case of the guy in your driveway; ... | |
| Wilson Sasha 1 Consider adding a subwoofer to your system. You can add as much slam as you want. Joe | |
| Sellers Beware!!! I still haven't heard the bottom line here. I too have sold overseas with some crazy results. I want to honor whoever wants to buy but also protect myself on all fronts. This means that as the seller I need to understand ALL the rules in the chain... | |
| what pre-amps to try I'm in love with my Classe CP700. What I like is A LOT of detail over many pre's I've tried and it's very versatile ( Two sets of balanced outputs as well as two sets of RCA outputs) Also, mine has a very nice internal phono stage that is no slouc... | |
| Is the main reason audio equipment depreciates so much is A case in point; Me. I bought Snell Type B's in 1994. I spent a lot of time with them. TONS of time experimenting with them. My ears became trained to their sound. I know them as well as anyone. I've been smitten ever since with them. It's 20 year... | |
| ENTIRE SYSTEM NEEDED TO SELL Kudos to all my fellow Audiogoners for their excellent advice. It's nice to be a part of a group of fine moral people. Some of the advice above sounds overwhelming for a lady who wants to sell a stereo system. One knowledgeable person helping this... | |
| Best speakers for $3000 A lot of responses here! I'll add one more: Snell Type B or C5. What is important to keep in mind is that you really need to work with the speakers to find out what they like. I spoke with one guy who said he took the speakers out of the box, didn... | |
| When is your Hifi good enough? When the speakers disappear and I get goosebumps. Joe | |
| How to best ship big & heavy speakers internationally? One more serious concern; Even if you play by all the rules and something goes wrong, YOU can still be left with a mess on your hands. I shipped a new in box heater to a guy in Oregon ( I'm in Pennsylvania). FedEx damaged the outside of the box an... | |
| How to best ship big & heavy speakers internationally? The responsibility is ALL YOURS until they arrive safe at the destination. I've had this out in the past with sellers who didn't understand the rules. It is necessary to meet the requirements of all parties involved. Overseas is especially tricky.... |
